[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBvPHt9ySfM[/youtube] I just made this video to show how I got everything working under Linux on my desktop computer. I used Cedega to emulate windows games, so thats how I'm playing Counter-Strike 1.6. Beryl is the program that does the 3D desktop and such. Dual monitor config was rather easy with just a few edits to the xorg.conf file.
Wow thats sweeeet love ur Background !! That would be awsome to play Css or Gmod on it with soo much screen area
Yeah, could you potentially make Gmod or somesuch spread across both monitors? I'm looking into this Sabayon distro. See if it has a Live CD version, as the comp I want to put Linux on has no hard drive space at the moment. If I can get the VALVe games running on it with it in Linux, I may not need Windows on it at all. Provided GIMP really is as powerful as photoshop. Besides, with an AMD Athlon 64, I need Linux, as XP is 32 bit and Vista sucks. (I do 3D modeling. The more processor I have access to, the better. Actually, if one program can be spread across two processors, I'll get a cluster going instead of a render farm. Especially if the comps could then share memory, too. In fact, making 2+ machines act and respond as one might be a great idea, especially if I hook monitors to every available port. Lol, I don't think I even OWN 4 CRTs Too bad, a four-monitor setup would pwn.) EDIT:Sweet! The whole thing's a Live distro. And it's got a 64bit version. *is torrenting it now*
I've got this Linux on a disk man, its one pretty os too. I was thinking about putting it on my old pc. Originally i think you showed this to me a year ago.
Sweet. I just finished downloading the latest version this morning. Once I have a hard drive to install it on, it'll be pure awesomeness. As it is, it's still awesome, with the whole Compiz-Fusion thing. Recognized all my hardware and just went, not that it wouldn't of course. Comes with some cool games, too, as well as Google Earth. And if I can make it run all my Windows apps, I'll be sooooo happy. I think I'd even install it in the other machine too, and slap some clustering software in. Even if I end up having to compile my own version to add the clustering in, it'll still be great.
Yeah, I had HL2 running spanned across both monitors in native resolution, and it didn't look stretched or anything.
Heheh, I finally got a hard drive. Boots a hell of a lot faster off a drive than a DVD. Just need to get it all set up, and I can start migrating off my Windows machine. I'm running off to go get that Cedega thing now.
